Any place can do an illegal tint on the car for you. YOu just wont receive any warranty or receipt for the work. If your car is a coupe get the driver and passenger window a legal limit, Then you can get every other window (rear quarter windows and rear window) as dark as you want legally. Thats how i had it on my r33 and you still atleast have a warranty and no excuse for the insurance company not to pay you out if you have an accident. Stupid as it sounds they can refuse to pay up if your window tint is too dark :|

now why would u want an illegal tint? Just do a legal one and be happy...its just another thing the cops will defect you for in the future.

Have have done a few tint jobs at Premier Tint in Nunawading..they seem to be good. All my tints have lasted and been of high quality.

In fact I was going to take the R33 down there this week if they are open...

is that a backyard job or what? good quality etc etc?

Doesnt really remember if its a backyard job or not.. It all depends on their experince and whether they know if they are doing it properly or not. Got mine done in this guys house, not only it was half the price but the job was done better than most of the tint places.

I posted up as a suggestion, I have my R33 done there as well!

Well said buddy. The guy works for a major car manufacturer. and yes, he does it at his place. The job was well done IMHO.

i wanted to get my widows tinted aswell, just wondering if tint professors quality is good? if anyone has tried them? or any other places ppl can recommend.

i want to get 35% darkness (legal) on front 2 windows and 20% on other windows, does anyone have a pic with similiar tints - i just want to see if it looks odd or not

cheers

I can see the tendancy to want to go illegal. Both my cars have had tint darker than the legal limit. 35% is really not dark at all, in the pic above of the white 33 its really the angle that makes the 35's look kinda dark there, in real life they will just look like a camry tint.

I have 5% on my car at the moment on all the windows (my choice so don't try and tell me how silly it is as i have heard it all before from others who don't have the tint) and it really does look quite good. Not as hard to see out of as everyone makes out, i even still have the optioned rear blind in my car ( Broad daylight and no chance of seeing through the back from outside :( ) Reversing in side streets at night can be a bit of a problem though :ninja: ah well its the price you pay i guess for a stealthier look. (keeps the car nice and cool on the inside too :mad: ) 20% is a good medium, noticably darker than the 35's whilst not looking super illegal or too hard to drive with at night.

Just so you are aware, 35% is the maximum legal darkness on all windows including rear ones.

Check out vicroads for more info

"All windows of a motor vehicle, other than windscreens available to the driver to obtain a view of the road or other road users must have a light transmittance of at least 35 per cent...", it then mentions that its desirable windows to the side and ahead of the driver are not reduced below 70% transmittance, and another section on windscreens say it can only be tinted during manufacturing.

If this rule is 35% tint all round then there would be a lot of vans and other cars been defected for the black tint that you cannot see through?

Regards,

Gareth

Can someone please clarify the above?

Is the rear windscreen not a window that the driver uses to obtain a view of the road (trying to understand the tinting laws)?

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
